    84E No Guibo Drive Shaft Removal

    I have a 84 325E early model with no guibo. How the heck do you get to the front bolts? I have the rear drive shaft mount and CSB off. I am needing to change the CSB as it is totally gone. Started to remove the transmission support to give a few more inches of access. The drivers side aft bolt seems to be spinning. Is there a small clip that holds the bolt in place from inside the car, maybe under the seat? Is it replaceable?
    HELP!

      I had one like that on and old E it is a piloted yoke. I used a stubby wrench 17mm i believe turned the driveshaft till i could pin it against the floor pan then impacted off the rear. When I put it back together i used one of those curved box end wrenches i bought it special for this on harbor freight worked real well

      also if i remember correctly you can pull the tranny brace off of the rear and get a boxed end on them one at a time directly from below between the 2 flanges where the tranny mounts are
